Gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence research on different position leaves of rice plant by SUN Jun-wei, FU Xian-shu, XI Hui, CAI Chong, WANG Teng-hao

“…The increase of initial fluorescence (Fo) and the reduction of photosystem Ⅱ (PSⅡ) maximum photochemical quantum yield (Fv/Fm) indicated PS Ⅱ reaction center suffered inactivation or/and damage. Furthermore, PS Ⅱ efficient photochemical quantum yield (Fv'/Fm'), PS Ⅱ actual photochemical quantum yield (ΦPS Ⅱ), photochemical quenching (qP) and apparent electron transport rate (ETR) were also declined, suggesting not only the absorption but also the transformation and transfer of light energy were seriously inhibited. …”
